"I support ICE" is the new "I'm a racist"
Prove me wrong.
Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
"I support ICE" is the new "I'm a racist"
Prove me wrong.
It is also the new "I don't believe in the Constitution"
I'm more conservative than anyone that supports the Fascist Regime in America because I believe people in the USA should have constitutional rights.
Everyone should believe in constitutional/human rights. That's not a partisan position, that's a human position.
The monsters posing as humans to push any agenda that would rob humans of their rights, should not be considered neither "left" nor "right". Many of them are simply aggressive capitalists that value profits more than human lives. There are exceptions to this.
This kid overnight became the coolest kid in school, maybe the coolest kid in any school.
Boy is an icon.
Im curious if it actually made him popular or whether he suffers from it tbh
Kids a fucking hero.
Anyone got some background on this? I'm outta the loop
Some asshole going around his school filming and announcing "I support ICE!". He passes this guy who responds "I'm gonna punch you", the filmer says "you'll get in trouble", to which the guy pictured replies "okay" and starts swinging
That is what we call "good trouble".
That many ACAB in a school, that country is wild! And OF COURSE they're all cool with the fascist, lol.
They have to be careful to a degree, since the government isn't allowed to stifle free speech on government property. If they told him he wasn't allowed to they would open themselves up to a lawsuit.
Law enforcement requires fascism and power.

Reminds me of this photograph.
The mother of the woman was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the nazis. The guy later killed a Jew.
The nazi be like: i was just peacefully spreading hate and was unlawfully attacked by violent antifa!

If you are in the same room as a Nazi and you are not punching the Nazi there are two Nazis in the room.
I'm glad this is on Lemmy.
Reddit would put you on a list, send it to DHS, and give you a 3 day ban...just for up-voting.
That's what motivated me to make an account here. Reddit are fascist sympathizers.
Me too. Right now I'm in the middle of a 3 day ban for saying that any country that needs genocide to exist, should not exist.
I don't feel like going back after that one
Why are you talking about reddit? Fuck reddit. What a shitty place to be.
My grandpa would have approved this and said something like "ah, that takes me back".
The WORST kind of shithead is the one who does shitty things because they're technically legal.
The kid in the original video didn't need to walk around school 'protesting' his support of the status quo. He didn't need to act like he was some kind of fucking minority. Then as soon as his actions met any kind of negative (to him) repercussions he was all like "THAT'S ILLEGAL".
And I don't wish pain or injury on him. I just wish him to fuck off. I nothing him. I wish him a future where he can look back upon this episode with shame that he was such a piece of shit at this stage in his life.
But he won't.
The usual shitehawks and grifters will champion him for their own gain, they'll inflate him and make him feel important, and at worst he'll end up becoming a figurehead for the oppressed, silent, majority. A silent majority who I wish would shut the fuck up once in a while.
And I don’t wish pain or injury on him
I do. Fuck him
I'd add to this sentiment-- we must find the state actors behind the epstein operation and do them some violent harm. We need to start standing up for ourselves and our childrens safety without exceptions or cowardice. No one else will demand this for us-- our justice and political systems-- even our party system is breaking down. We're down to pitchforks, media shame, protest signs, and the new black panthers.
WTF are all US schools like that? With all that security it looks like it was filmed in an airport
Because we have school shootings all the damn time. It still won't stop them from happening but it's not like we're gonna go after the source of the problem and ban guns anytime soon. Security theater is the best thing administrations can do and the kids are those who end up suffering the most out of it.
Cops at schools often escalate problems and use excessive force on children.
They're part of the youth control complex. They exist to criminalize children, creating a new generation of victim they can use to justify their continued existence. Fuck the police.
And we can't go after the guns because patriots are going to use them in case the government ever starts doing tyrannical things like grabbing people off the streets without due process, killing protesters, breaking into houses without warrants, or threatening the voting system.
If any of that happens sometime in the future the good ol' boys will be ready to protect the Constitution and we'll understand that all the dead kids were worth it.
Forever immortalized
Any word on what happened to this kid?
Are they arresting kids or just suspension or am I just showing my age?
I'm not yet sure what happened to the kid that punched the fascist.
However, the fascist was apparently banned from Instagram for pulling fire alarms

Now that I know the context, the kid is a hero. Us Lemmy people are proud of you.
I would like to officially nominate that kid for office of the President of the USA 2028.
Not sure the country could handle such a large swing upwards in qualifications.
I hope he did not get into trouble for this. Even though I would not have choosen violence, I can clearly understand him.
Yes, everyone can have an opinion with free speech. But if all of us must face consequences, then racist assholes should too.
Danny Spud is just the type of junior nazi Stephen Miller is looking for.
